Olefish here,,, I tied the Tarcher Nymph I got it from the book Good Flies by John Gierach. John got it from the inventor Ken Iwamasa, and the story on it, along with tying directions, is in his book Iwamasa Flies, published in 1988. He designed it to copy mayfly nymphs that would "arch their abdomens into a scorpion-like position" when they were dislodged from the bottom and would drift along in the current. I use peacock for the body the recipe calls for dark hare's ear dabbing. ps flies in the mail your Olefish

 

12 tyers inc myself

due date 15th Oct

 

these will be mailed to me in Windsor Canada, so please include $2 US for return mail. I will cross the border and mail from Detroit.If flies are not rec'd by due date I will mail without yours or everyone will have to wait until I return from a trip to the UK, I will communicate with you all nearer the time.

This came back today! The package was open and the flies are gone. I am willing to re-tie (probably have to do a different hook) but it might not be until next week before I can send them out again. ( I whited out your addy)

Steve, This came back today opened and minus the flies. I'm willing to re-tie but don't want to hold up this swap. Please advise. avril

i no longer rely on the tacky strip use to seal the mailing envelopes. i seal all 4 sides and the closure flap with some clear packaging tape. at least it makes it harder for the postal thief to get into the envelope.
